We all have to be the annoying tourist once, that is super excited about little things that are the ordinary for locals. So butt up and enjoy! 💟

A happy mood painting to remind you of the small things in life that make you feel 🌞

Maybe we think about our own patience with tourists when they walk happy slowly in front of us while taking pics of buildings we see every day. Maybe we should look at those buildings more closely ourselves! I chose a swan visiting Aruba, because this year we have soooo many beautiful swans at Danube 🦢 beautiful beings that are typical for Austria 🤍

Gorgeous and unique little side table that turned into a pond of light.
The fish and sea roses are painted layer over layer of resin – a wonderful project of patience. Like we say in Austria: In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft

Definitely I want to do more like this. I will keep my eyes open on antique markets for unique pieces that match the technique. Just like I found this little treasure on a market in Vienna 2nd. It is wooden and if you look close you can see carvings on the bottom of the pond. So special! Also it comes in pretty practical, you can remove the legs easily and take it wherever you need it.

The bigger plan we all are a part of is life itself. Who you are and what you do does matter – it effects everything and everyone around you. Just as you are effected by the actions of others.
We all are perfectly special Individuals, that can stand alone. But at the same time we all are connected and depend on each other.
In my painting I want to deliver this feeling to you. The colorful layers of life.

We see a family from above, walking through a pond. The sea roses open gently for them, as they calmly walk along. Behind them they are closing again, very slowly, so no one else gets interrupted.
In the closeups you see all the lively details of this painting. There are koi fish that swim in different depths of the water – this symbolizes the many emotional categories that make us human. They glow in different strength, but they all glow. Everybody has another way to shine, but we all do – just like these koi. Without any hesitation they make room for the deer family – because why should they be in their way? Make room for those with a goal, so when you are on your path others will do the same.
Above the sea roses we find another layer, a world of frogs, that live among the rich flora. They symbolize evolution – out of the water onto land and able to live where two worlds are connected.
In the next layer you see dragonflies and butterflies, that stand for pollination and the source of life.

Lets be aware of how our own happiness depends on the happiness of others and how our actions influence everything 💚

Two hearts meet where the source of Light explodes…

How long did it take for you to spot the Swan? It can stand for so much here and however you interpret it will be right. For me it means love, a hug that cannot be forced. Something fragile, just like love itself. Intimate on so many levels, familiar, home

In the other light I kept it focused – with room for interpretation. The wings can be hers to make her the guardian angel. For me the wings belong to the Swan, being in the safety of love but still free to be itself. The source of the glow is the spot where two hearts meet where love and the power of it are sown.

Even though they are placed on a swing, one foot gently touching the water, you feel their safety. Free but together, always

The flowers in her hand are Forget-me-not that stand for togetherness – surrounded by bees to symbolize the source of life. The dragonflies stand for self-realization and the deeper meaning of life

The frame is extraordinary beautiful, antique and one of my best restauration outcomes. It is by far older than 100 years, a real treasure

Right, a box! We as humans will never be able to understand the importance of a fine cardbox. We just do not see the cozy, the safety and the calm. Not to speak of the smell!

It is time to be brave and step out of your comfort zone. Think about yourself in a different light, you are more powerful, competent, strong and important than you think!

The eagle flies higher than most of the other birds, even if it gets into a storm it will make it out stronger and soar even higher. If you spot an eagle it means all your dreams and the effort that you have put into them, become reality soon. It says that god speaks through eagles, that they are his direct bearers. So if you see one or an eagle shows up in your dreams you should keep your eyes, heart and soul open and listen real carefully to the sound of the universe. It will light your way.

All the doors will be unlocked! You already got the key.

If it is inside our soul or outside our body doesn’t matter, as long as we know it is there and it is only there for us. Because in the end, the end of it all, this spot will be us. That spot will be you. Take care of your space.

All the enchanting silence of a desert sunset. If it’s still warm, almost hot. but the cold of the night is already waiting, hidden behind the sharp shadows of the pyramids, ready to change its entire surroundings. With the light, the warmth goes out and the second side, the other life in the desert, awakens. This last warm moment, this magic of daily change feels like gold to me…

At the beginning of everything, there must have been a first step for life itself. There are many theories about that moment, but we may never will be certain what really happened. In my little fantastic world there was a male and a female part, that carried a big treasure and left a path of life – sprung in the existence of flowers, bees and koi fish. In a black universe with light inside, a world of juicy greens and rich rivers is born.

A minimum in color can be a max in hypnotizing! Especially in another light – all those glowing dots make you fall into another part of your brain, where there is a little space left just for silence and staring…

What makes this piece interesting is the fact, that from further away you only see the bigger, closest rays. So the painting is very calm and minimalistic. But when you step closer you start to see those blue dots in the background – the rays that are down deeper. The piece becomes more alive, you start to look even closer. And then, in blacklight, all those dots glow up and it almost gets chaoticly alive.
A small sized painting with a lot of layers and big potential to make you fall for it 🙂

Take a look through the most fairy keyhole in all forests and find out what you need to find out…

The making of a fairytale Part 1

There we have it again, my little obsession with Alice in Wonderland… When I was a kid, I actually did not like this fairytale too much, it gave me the creeps, though I did not know why. Now as an (kind of) adult I know why and that is exactly how I learned to love it that much.

Have you ever read the original by Lewis Carol? Have you ever looked behind the story to find out where the idea rooted? It is dark, it is scary and yet still, it is just wonderful and beautiful what he made of it. He is my hero in parenting and I actually love that even more than the fairytale itself. Behind the scenes…

The frame is a unique piece, restored and gilded by myself with parts of decorative moss to give it that extra juicy forest look. It already had the perfect shape of a door, the rest of the idea just flew in naturally. The original color of the frame was a dark brown and I absolutely love the strong blue in combination with gold leaf and luminescent green. It gives a strong 3D-effect and I love to watch how the keyhole magnetizes viewers. They really look through it and this makes me absolutely happy – illusion created

How much this movie did to me, how bad it got me with all its’ plots and twists is barely to say in words. That is why I went so much in detail for this painting. It is supposed to give a lot to find, a lot to think and a lot to feel to its viewer. The lines are written in german, because this is the language I experienced the movie at first and the original version in english never came close to that. Only the words ‘fette Beute’ are so genius and a great example for how the movie always had a humorous side next to all its seriousness. Just amazing!

If you feel like falling your whole life. Again and again falling into even darker places, you need something totally out of the ordinary to focus on. To grow on. Something that keeps your mind busy and out of the dark.
This is the beauty about the ‘Queens Gambit’.

Little Beth’s life already starts miserable. She learns about loss and loneliness very early and is in survive mode since she can remember. The orphanage is just another level of misery… but she finds something there, in the dusty basement – a friend and a passion. A passion so pure, that it consumes her mind.
During the story she becomes addicted to drugs and alcohol – alongside chess. She thinks she needs to be high to play the perfect game. Throughout the series we watch her falling again and again. We watch her using, watch her losing loved people. Again and again. But there is one savior in her life. The one thing that pulls her out of the dark – Chess.

In my painting I wanted to highlight exactly this. How chess becomes the light in her life. After loosing so much. After going through addictions and being in so many dark places, it is she herself who is her savior.

Beth became something like an Idol to me. All the darkness in her young life made her bulletproof. Her strength only made her stronger. I think there is barely anything that could break her anymore. I am thankful for this movie piece of art with its strong visuals – just like paintings – and perfectly chosen music.

The spirits are high for those who believe…

I found this absolutely unique wooden frame and was in love immediately! I bought it from an artist who – I believe – made it himself. I have never seen anything like this before and knew right away, this is going to be the Aztec jungle I have in mind for so long already. The colors are given and it comes together so perfectly.

I wanted to create a daylight jungle full of light, sun, good vibes and the positive energy of green. But, you guessed it already, in the dark the jungle hides more to it. The darkness, the things you see and those you don’t, the sounds and all those eyes watching you in a jungle night can send chills down your spine. This is exactly what I wanted to bring onto one canvas, into one painting.

We see an astronaut versus an alien of course, in an epic chess game – about what? The world? Another world, like Plan(et) B? And how do we know if the astronaut is even human? Who is the good and who is the bad in this battle? If you look closer, what do they see in the reflection of the other one? – They see themselves.
